ML Inference Optimization
Speed up Python ML preprocessing, postprocessing, and inference code.
Published May 30, 2026
Preprocessing Acceleration
Model preprocessing (tokenisation, feature engineering, normalisation) is often pure Python and benefits greatly from compilation:
def preprocess(features):
normalised = []
for f in features:
val = (f - mean) / std
if val > 3.0:
val = 3.0
normalised.append(val)
return normalised
Postprocessing
def postprocess(logits):
probs = []
total = sum(logits)
for logit in logits:
probs.append(logit / total)
return probs
Batch Inference Orchestration
Pyvorin compiles the loop that batches and calls the model. The model inference itself (TensorFlow, PyTorch) runs in its optimised C++ runtime.
Limitations
- GPU tensor operations are not compiled by Pyvorin.
- Custom CUDA kernels remain untouched.
- Focus on Python glue code around model calls.
